Joyce Blvd. | Fayetteville, Ark. | 479.695.8012 | butterfieldtrailvillage.org Sunday, August 26, 2018 37 Arkansas Football Miles lost his final five games against Saban and Alabama, including 21-0 in the 2011 national championship game in New Orleans. The 13 SEC schools other than Ala- bama have had a combined 46 coaches since Saban took over the Crimson Tide program in 2007. There have been 33 coaching changes in the SEC — including some interim coaches — during Saban's era of terror. "There are some very good foot- ball coaches that have come and gone through this league, and there's a lot of good ones in here now," Stoops said. "I think it just speaks to the league. And, believe me, the 14 schools, there's not one that wants to take a step back. "We're all looking to improve. We're all doing anything and everything we can every day to get that edge to take the next step." Malzahn, an Arkansas native, is the only current SEC coach who has beaten Alabama under Saban. Malzahn's Tigers are 2-3 against Alabama, including a 26- 14 victory last season. But that loss to Auburn didn't stop Alabama from winning the national title with a 26-23 overtime victory against Georgia after the Bulldogs beat Auburn in the SEC Championship Game. "Yeah, I don't get caught up in other coaches and all that," Malzahn said when asked about beating the only SEC coach left standing who has beaten Saban. "All I know is you're at Auburn and you play Alabama. That's the Iron Bowl. That's the best rivalry in college football. "And to win the West, you got to beat them. Every year our goal is to win the SEC Championship, and the West is part of it. "And we know what we're getting in- to. That's just part of the job description at Auburn. Chad Morris, hired as the University of Arkansas' coach in December after three seasons at SMU, is among six new head coaches at SEC schools. Other new coaches are Florida's Dan Mullen, who was at Mississippi State; Ole Miss' Matt Luke, the Rebels' interim coach last season; Mississippi State's Joe Moorhead; Tennessee's Jeremy Pruitt; and Texas A&M's Jimbo Fisher. The six new hires in the SEC are nearly as many as the 50 other Power 5 conference schools. The Atlantic Coast Conference, Big Ten, Big 12 and Pac 12 combined for seven new coaching hires, though five of those were in the Pac 12, including Kevin Sumlin moving from Texas A&M to Arizona. Excluding the SEC, the 115 other Foot- ball Bowl Championship subdivision schools had 13 coaches changes for this season.
